17 years after being rejected by 'American Idol,' actress finally sings on Fox... as 'The Masked Singer's' Poodle Moth

Poodle Moth was "too sensitive to handle" competing on 'Idol,' but she made it to the 'Masked Singer' quarterfinals and in the process "educated" the public about her lesser-known singing skills.

Poodle Moth is used to getting second chances. This season on The Masked Singer she was saved from the brink of elimination by the Ding Dong Keep It On Bell, and it turns out that her impressive Masked Singer Season 11 run gave her a second chance in another, even more surprising way.

On Wednesday, during The Masked Singer's quarterfinals, this cuddly crooner was revealed to be actress/singer Chrissy Metz, who in recent years has become a This Is Us superstar and even recorded an Oscar-nominated Diane Warren ballad, "I'm Standing With You." But Chrissy probably never imagined she'd be standing onstage in a Poodle Moth costume, finally getting her chance to sing on Fox TV... 17 years after being rejected by American Idol.
